What if the life you want… requires you to let go of the version of you that expects it to be easy?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Kimmerly for a conversation that’s equal parts grounding and empowering. We talk about the truth no one really wants to hear… no one owes you anything. And why that realization might actually be the thing that sets you free.We dive into what it really looks like to pursue big dreams, the messy middle where nothing goes as planned, and how your first version is never your final one. This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t linear, success isn’t guaranteed, and the path will surprise you in ways you didn’t see coming.But also… you’re capable of more than you think.If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like you’re not “there” yet, this conversation will bring you back to your why and remind you that you’re already doing the hard things.And you’re not done yet.Because life is short. And you’ve got a lot more dragons to slay.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Dr. Lauren and Rehab Loftinstagram: @therehabloft @lauren_kimmerlyWebsite: Rehab Loft | ChiropracticConnect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #EntrepreneurMindset #BuildYourDream #DreamBigWorkHard

From unexpected beginnings to burning beans in their kitchens, their journeys are anything but traditional.What starts as a lighthearted coffee chat quickly turns into something deeper.

There is nothing quite like music to connect people and create community. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Josh Boekesch, founder of The Scene, to celebrate the platform’s one year anniversary and talk about how he is helping bring the St. Louis music community together.While working at a local radio station, Josh was constantly surrounded by music and the incredible talent throughout the STL scene. But he noticed something missing. There was no single place coordinating and supporting local artists, shows, and new releases. Musicians were creating amazing work, venues were hosting shows, and fans wanted to stay in the know, but there wasn’t a central hub connecting it all.So Josh built one.The Scene has quickly become the go to place for everything happening in the St. Louis music world. From sharing local shows to promoting new songs and album releases, Josh is constantly spotlighting the artists who make the STL music scene so vibrant.In many ways, The Scene has become a musical ambassador for the St. Louis community, helping fans discover new artists while giving musicians a platform to share their work.Josh is also the host of The Scene Talks, where he interviews local artists and bands to hear the behind the scenes stories of their music, their creative process, and what it really takes to build a career as a musician.This conversation is truly a music lover’s dream and one of the best nerd out sessions about music you could ask for. If you want to learn more about the St. Louis music scene, support local artists, and hear the story behind a platform built to uplift a creative community, this episode is for you.Connect with The Scene:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thescene314Connect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #STLMusic #TheSceneSTL #SupportLocalMusic #Podcast #StLouisMusic
